Re: [T3] My wipers are possesed

[The Canadian <cndt3@shaw.ca>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>The car is a '63 and I'm pretty sure the wiper motor and assembly are as
well.  I may have replaced them with parts from a '65 but I'm not sure.  The
three wires from the pushbutton block are colour-coded as are the three
wires from the wiper motor so I'm pretty sure the wiring is correct.  The
wipers do park properly whenever I DON'T need them.  This coupled with the
fact that I installed my own windshield (poorly) and it leaks lends credence
to John Fischer's suggestion that moisture in the controls is at work.  I
will get my windshield installed properly then try again and see what
happens.

Thanks for the help everyone!
